Customers spent $2.6 million on marijuana products during the second week of recreational sales in the state, surpassing the $2.2 million customers spent during the shorter first week.

From Nov. 26 to Dec. 2, with businesses operating every day of the week, customers spent a total of nearly $2.6 million on 65,196 different products. The first week’s revenue only included five business days — both stores opened on a Tuesday and were closed on Thanksgiving — and the revenue total was just over $2.2 million.

The busiest day for sales last week was Friday, when customers bought 11,381 products for a total of about $461,000. Saturday came in second for revenue with customers spending a total of nearly $420,000.

Customers spent the most per product on Thursday: an average of $40.81 per item. Friday was close behind, with the average price per product coming in at $40.51.
